Morning chaps, how long should a battery last on a Solar G? Mine keeps recharging in daylight and then intermittently flashes "low" and then the cycle repeats?
I assume its quick job to replace the battery just making sure the rear plate and seal goes back on properly? Or can I put it under some special bulb to give it a proper charge!

Just under £50, might be useful for someone. Just ordered myself one.

Just 'pulled the trigger' (God, I hate that phrase ) on this GA-500P-1ADR to add to my modest collection, in Causeway Bay HK. Was in the window at $1480 and got him down to $950, which is about the right price I think.
Bit different to my other ones but it was a bit of an impulse purchase as they were just pulling down the shutters and I fly home tomorrow night.

Decided I have a need for a purple G in the collection and this came up ... £30 BIN delivered on eBay and couldn't resist, they reckoned it had been used/worn but it didn't show any signs of this at all so not sure if it maybe ex-display or knocked off ?!? Either way a bargain for me and fully packed/tin/box/manuals/guarantees etc...
Looking for peoples experiences.
I have a Mudman and had a Protrek PG80. I use the compass a lot as a geography teacher.
I managed to break the PG80 after many years of service. Now looking for the next ABC watch.
I need a compass and I also want tide function and solar as well.
I am between these two
Protrek PRW2500 Titanium (pratical and like the metal strap, not so much digital looking screen although easy to read)
http://www.casio.com/products/watches/pro-trek/prw...
Or the GulfMan GWN 1000B (Loks cooler, harder to see compass/tide)

Any experience? If the gulfman came in metal i would have it in a shot.

The Gulfman is a nice watch,I had the Blue and black version( both around £230ish ) ,I preferred the blue.i bet the yellow one is even more striking, fits nicely on the wrist I have a Mudman and had a Protrek PG80. I use the compass a lot as a geography teacher.

Only reason I sold them is I made a profit on them, and replaced them with a GX56, I bought the black one to flip
